and as the Woodhouse Council met this afternoon we had to give up the council chamber to them and had no class. Frank came home to dinner to tell Dad how matters stood as he had all the chores done up ready to come down this afternoon and hear {name?}. I stayed at Aunty's to dinner and went up this afternoon to have Dr. Lemons fix my tooth but has he couldn't tend to it till four o'clock I went with Aunty over to see Miss Battersley and up to see Cousin Loll, then up to Bill's. He just put a temporary filling in. When I went down to Aunty's I found Dad. there and we came home together tonight. Frank went down to see Tom Mark's show and I went over to Mrs. Battersley's to take her the picture of her house and trees with the ice on them. We got our mail for the first time today since last Friday, but the Woodstock road is not open yet and everyone downtown is predicting a storm to strike here about tomorrow which will put this last one in the shade. They say the station agents have received wires warning them to be ready for it. It was yesterday supposed to be sweeping Chicago. Friday January 18th Frank and I have been down at the class all day as Mr. Duke was supposed to be here today to address us on Hogs but he didn't show up. We had insect pests and bee's this morning and this afternoon tested cream and chores up sides for a debate next Friday. Corby, young Butler and I have to take the affirmative of the resolution that the Present war will prove a benefit to humanity and Clarence Finch, Ham Thompson & young Challand are to take the negative. I don't know beans about the subject but suppose I can think up something by that time. Tonight Marj, Miss Kerney & I went to see "Freckles" at the picture show, he got through at last and was only on fir tonight. We wnt to the first show but the palce was packed to the doors so we wnet back and waited till the second show then I went in after the show and had some tea & cake so it was rather late when I got home. It has been a beautiful day but colder tonight. Saturday January 19th We didn't do much this morning but got the lane cleared out enough for Frank to get through with the bob-sleigh and go down to the mill and get the chop he left there the other day. I went down to Aunty's to dinner and this afternoon went to Simcoe on the car
